× Yes, of course I love to gardening.
✓ Yes, of course I love gardening.
The verb 'love' is followed by a gerund without the preposition 'to'. 'To gardening' is incorrect; use 'gardening' (verb + -ing) after 'love'. Suggestion: use 'I love gardening' or 'I love to garden' (infinitive form 'to garden' is also acceptable).
× It gives me relaxation and lift up my spirits after a hectic and stressful routine.
✓ It relaxes me and lifts up my spirits after a hectic and stressful routine.
Subject-verb agreement and verb choice: 'It gives me relaxation' is awkward; use 'relaxes me'. Also verbs referring to singular subject 'It' need third person singular form 'relaxes' and 'lifts'. Use parallel structure: 'relaxes me and lifts my spirits'.
× Whenever I have free time, I spend it mostly in my home garden, but I take care of my plants and flowers.
✓ Whenever I have free time, I mostly spend it in my home garden and take care of my plants and flowers.
Word order and conjunction: 'spend it mostly in my home garden' is understandable but more natural as 'mostly spend it in my home garden'. Also remove unnecessary 'but' because actions are complementary. Maintain consistent verb forms 'spend' and 'take care'.
× Honest honestly speaking as a child I had not a specific hobby because due to hectic routine and busy schedule I just went to school after come back, played with my cousins and shared snacks with each other and the last of the day I just watched a cartoon.
✓ Honestly speaking, as a child I did not have a specific hobby because, due to a hectic routine and busy schedule, I would just go to school, come back, play with my cousins, share snacks with them, and at the end of the day I would watch cartoons.
Multiple tense and word order errors: use simple past negative 'did not have' not 'had not'. 'Went to school after come back' mixes tenses; use a sequence of past actions with base verbs or 'would' to indicate habitual past. Use plural 'cartoons' and correct phrase 'at the end of the day'. Also fix adverb 'Honestly' spelling and punctuation. Add articles where needed ('a hectic routine').
× As I discussed before, I had not a specific hobby as a child, but when I grown up I explore different kinds of thing around me.
✓ As I discussed before, I did not have a specific hobby as a child, but when I grew up I explored different kinds of things around me.
Use correct past forms: negative 'did not have' instead of 'had not'; 'grown up' is past participle; use simple past 'grew up' and 'explored' for completed past actions. Also pluralize 'things'.
× On all of this gardening fascinated to me because it enhance my mood and cheer up me so I.
✓ Above all, gardening fascinated me because it enhanced my mood and cheered me up.
Multiple issues: 'On all of this' is incorrect—use 'above all'. 'Fascinated to me' should be 'fascinated me'. Tense consistency: past 'fascinated' and 'enhanced' and 'cheered me up'. Word order: 'cheered me up' not 'cheer up me'. Remove trailing 'so I'.
× No, we have no similar hobbies because according to my point every person have their own choice and personality.
✓ No, we do not have similar hobbies because, in my opinion, every person has their own choices and personality.
Subject-verb agreement: 'every person' is singular so verb must be 'has' not 'have'. 'According to my point' is unnatural; use 'in my opinion'. 'Choice' should be plural 'choices' to match general meaning. Also 'we do not have' is more natural than 'we have no'.
× My mother and father are very shy and quiet so they love to read books.
✓ My mother and father are very shy and quiet, so they love to read books.
This sentence is mostly correct grammatically. Added comma for clarity. Note: 'love to read books' is acceptable; alternatively 'love reading books'. No change to verb form was necessary.
× On the other side, my younger brother are very energetic so he play play outdoor game mostly.
✓ On the other hand, my younger brother is very energetic, so he mostly plays outdoor games.
Subject-verb agreement: singular 'my younger brother' requires 'is' not 'are' and 'plays' not 'play'. Remove repeated 'play'. Use 'on the other hand' instead of 'on the other side', place adverb 'mostly' appropriately, and pluralize 'games'.
